This calculator breaks down the ongoing costs and benefits of keeping a dairy goat compared to buying milk at the store. It is a handy tool for homesteaders looking to estimate annual operating profits, factoring in feed, maintenance, and income from selling kids. Keep in mind that the model focuses strictly on annual expenses, so you will want to budget separately for upfront costs like the goat itself, fencing, and shelter.
